Excel and its data drivers tend to be... aggravating to work with. Good luck! :-)Wed, 20 Feb 2013 10:35:49 GMTEvil Kraig Fhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1421860-5-1.aspxDear Craig,Thanks.I have converted the file to CSV and it works.Wed, 20 Feb 2013 03:20:17 GMTriver1http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1421860-5-1.aspxExcel importing is insanely fussy and nearly impossible to remotely troubleshoot, but I'll try a bit. What's the import designation for that field? VARCHAR(255) or VARCHAR(MAX)? Is it possibly int or something else?Must you import from excel or can you have your users save the files as CSVs? They can do that right from Excel when they're done fussing with the file.Wed, 20 Feb 2013 01:37:00 GMTEvil Kraig Fhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1421860-5-1.aspxHi,I have one excel that has data like this:ADM14021360066,208930705 502151 Abraçadeiras Plasticas Wurth 280x4,8 UN 1000.1 NOVO 200 CamiãoADM14021360066,208930706 502161 Abraçadeiras Plasticas Wurth 360x4,8 UN 1000.1 NOVO 300 CamiãoADM14021360066,208930707 2 Barra Reparação Magnum UN 1000.1 NOVO 2 CamiãoADM14021360066,208930708 3 Bicos Cola UN 1000.1 NOVO 70 CamiãoADM14021360066,208930709 4 Bidon Limpeza Travões Wurth 20Lt UN 1000.1 NOVO 1 CamiãoADM14021360066,208930710 7 Clip Autocolante UN 1000.1 NOVO 64 CamiãoADM14021360066,208930711 147334 Cola Fernador Azul Berner UN 1000.1 NOVO 1 CamiãoADM14021360066,208930712 147321 Cola Fernador Verde Berner UN 1000.1 NOVO 1 CamiãoADM14021360066,208930713 89309 Cola Klebfix Wurth UN 1000.1 NOVO 2 CamiãoADM14021360066,208930714 81 Cola Loctite Preta UN 1000.1 NOVO 1 CamiãoADM14021360066,208930715 0893449f Cola Metal Liquido Wurth1 UN 1000.1 NOVO 1 CamiãoADM14021360066,208930716 4242 Cola Past-o-Fix Berner UN 1000.1 NOVO 0 CamiãoADM14021360066,208930717 8963092f Cola Plastofix Wurth UN 1000.1 NOVO 2 CamiãoThere are several values that are imported as null on column codigo.For instance, the code that is on excel as 8963092f is imported to the column codigo as null.Can someone explain why?thanks,PedroP.S table code:CREATE TABLE [dbo].[table2] ( [STSTAMP] [char] (25) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NULL , [CODIGO] [varchar] (1000) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NULL , [DESIGNACAO] [varchar] (1000) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NULL , [UNIDADE] [varchar] (1000) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NULL , [FAMILIA] [varchar] (1000) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NULL , [ESTADO] [varchar] (1000) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NULL , [QUANTIDADE] [varchar] (1000) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NULL , [LOCALIZACAO] [varchar] (1000) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NULL ) ON [PRIMARY]GO Tue, 19 Feb 2013 14:44:11 GMTriver1
